Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen wild berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup sparkling water
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the wild berries, water, and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
- In a pitcher, combine the cooled berry syrup with lemon juice and stir well. Add sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.
- Pour the mocktail into glasses filled with ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.
